Details

R-Ladies Baltimore (Bmore) is the local Baltimore chapter for the larger R-Ladies global organization (rladies.org) to promote gender diversity in the R community.

Before proceeding to data analysis and visualization the data must be in a manageable format that permits downstream processing. Datasets are often messy, but R fortunately provides packages and functions that ease up this fundamental tidying process.

The next event is Wednesday June 17, 2020 from 3-4:30pm (virtual meetup on Zoom). We will have an exciting presentation from McKinzie Garrison (https://bcmb.bs.jhmi.edu/people/students/mckinzie-garrison) on tidy data and the use of the tidyverse (https://www.tidyverse.org) to reshape datasets for analysis. We will discuss this in the context of the R for Data Science text and the tidyr (https://tidyr.tidyverse.org) package.

WHO is this for?

  • If you are new to R & are short-budgeted on time!
  • If you work with data in R that have characters or strings!
  • If you want to work with data that have characters or strings, but not sure what to do with it!

If any/all of this is true, this event might be for you!

FAQ:
Q: Are men welcome to attend R-Ladies events?
A: Yes, men are welcome at this event. Our mission is to encourage more women and non-binary individuals to get involved in the R community. However, we ask that cis men come as guests of women and gender minorities to our events to promote a sense support and encouragement for women and gender minorities in the R community. Please help us by spreading the word about R-Ladies. Please also take the time to review our code of conduct before you attend: https://github.com/rladies/starter-kit/wiki/Code-of-Conduct

The term "women and gender minorities" is inclusive of individuals who identify as female (trans and cis), trans-men, non-binary, genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, intersex, and all minority genders).
